Stig, very kind of you to ask (especially given your efforts yesterday!!!) feeling better every day. its difficult balancing my desperation to get running again and the need to take things slowly enough to avoid injury etc. i'm fortunate that family, friends & running club are all keeping a watchful eye on me. hope your recovery goes well and you enjoy the special feeling that comes with running a marathon. i look forward to seeing you next year!

I pre-registered too, on the basis that if I changed my mind I would only lose £10. However, I enjoyed it so much that I will definitely be entering this one, and one of friends who watched (and is a marathon veteran) is entering on the basis of how good the atmosphere was. And this time round I will definitely be contributing to the forum more, as I really enjoyed reading all the posts.

Signed up at the Brighton Centre on Saturday - will be my 3rd time of running it (ran it in 2011 in 04:29:26 and then yesterday in 03:59:46) - really don't know how I'll ever top that but I shall certainly give it a good go!
